Of course both of these cars can be setup to fit your driving style. Both have many options and the ability to significantly adjust the geometry on the car.

That said, in general the Hot Bodies will be a little more stable. Like the Kyosho, it is a 'long arm' buggy (refering to the front end). To me, the car really feels like you can just throw it hard into a corner and usually itll stick. It has great traction overall. For someone with a heavy throttle finger this might be the better option.

The Tekno on the other hand reminds me of the Losi buggy (beyond the similar suspension setups and drivetrain layouts) in that it likes to be driven with precision, is extremley nimble, and is capable of some very fast laps without being pushed very hard. It reminds me more of a 4wd buggy feel rather than a truggy feel that some other buggies have. The difference in my opinion to the TLR is the Tekno car can be pushed out of its 'comfort zone' a little more and still stay stable and turn good laps. Great for when youre fighting for the lead or a position on the track.

Obviously I love the Tekno cars and how well they handle, but one of the biggest advantages to them to me isnt even the car itself. Its the team supporting It. Matt and Daniel work non stop with guys like Ryan and Joe as well as the average driver to create a car that is fastest for everyone, in every situation. The never ending testing and devleopment really caught my eye when I was switching brands, and thats why im here now.
